Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I keep getting excited about the antihistamine talk until I remember I don't have allergies any more.

God damn, I am Cliff Clavin sometimes.

And I, for one, love you for it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Zyrtec always worked much better than Allegra for me. Dunno why.

Heh, that wasn't actually a gloat, as I still have the symptoms. Monday, a CT scan!

My husband, who cannot keep his mouth shut, called me in the middle of the day earlier this week to inform me that his coworker said a CT scan increases your risk of cancer by like 100 times, and had I researched that?

It was not a peaceful day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Zyrtec always worked much better than Allegra for me. Dunno why.

For me, the opposite. Hence the woo.

I'll have to give it a try, then see which of the three works the best.

I am assuming that a lack of discomfort isn't on the menu, but reduced symptoms can be achieved. So far, Claritin gets a 0 from my system and Zyrtek gets a 4 out of 10.

Jeez, with all this outlay and scrutiny, I should get a grant!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Gee, thanks, husband! I wish you peace nonetheless, Dana.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

For those of you who have vague memories of sixties and seventies variety shows being slightly demented, I offer the evidence of Elizabeth Montgomery hosting Hollywood Palace in 1966.

Our wings are not tired

My taste buds need to interrupt the conversation to let you all know how much they love Zankou Chicken.

This is not a new thing, it's a small chain in LA that I love, but I grabbed takeout from Zankou for dinner tonight and am again reminded of how good it is.

Carry on.
